Automating LeanSentry deployment / Cloud deployment

Use these instructions to automate deployment of the LeanSentry monitoring service to a cloud environment.

IMPORTANT: We provide streamlined deployment to Windows Azure Compute Services (Web roles and Worker roles). Please use the Azure environment deployment wizard in the dashboard, and the provided Visual Studio Nuget package to deploy to that environment. Use the instructions below to deploy to Windows Azure VMs, Amazon EC2, or other custom or third party cloud environments.

NOTE: This deployment describes the Local deployment option (each monitored server has an agent on it).

Required files:

InstallProduct.exe

Installer

InstallProduct.exe.config

Installer configuration file (needed to run in both .NET .2 and .NET v4 environments)

This will install the Windows Debugging tools on your instance/VM. The LeanSentry Agent will automatically detect their presence and use them for diagnostics.

Troubleshooting automatic deployment

Review the installation logs located in %systemdrive%\leanserver\InstallProduct.log and %programdata%\leanserver\updater\log\ if the installation fails. Forward these logs to support AT leanserver DOT com for additional help.
